Why hire a listing agent instead of selling it myself?

California has some of the strictest disclosure laws — one missed form can unravel a sale or land you in legal trouble. A listing agent prices from real comparable sales, markets with professional photography and maximum exposure, and negotiates price, repairs, and contingencies. FSBO sellers often net less and absorb all the risk. Richard Stone has listed San Diego sales since 1987. Thinking of going it alone? Call 858-481-7653 first.
